SELECT SUITABLE LOCATION
Locate the POWER MIG® 180 DUAL in a dry location
where there is free circulation of clean air into the lou-
vers in the back and out the front of the unit. A loca-
tion that minimizes the amount of smoke and dirt
drawn into the rear louvers reduces the chance of dirt
accumulation that can block air passages and cause
overheating.
STACKING
POWER MIG® 180 DUAL cannot be stacked.
TILTING
Each machine must be placed on a secure, level sur-
face, directly or on recommended cart. The machine
may topple over if this procedure is not followed.
Read entire installation section before starting
installation.
